H5F: Ty Cobb – Charles Leerhsen

September 25, 2015 – It’s History in Five Friday, presented by Simon & Schuster — kicking off your modern weekend, with people from the past.

It exposes the cruel smear of baseball’s most exciting player, debunking the caricature of him as a dimwitted, belligerent, drunken racist. You can enjoy our full interview on or after Monday, September 28, 2015. For more, follow our H5F author on Twitter @CharlesLeerhsen or visit his website, CharlesLeerhsen.com.
